TopBand: ZL7 Update March 02 at 20.00 utc

[Wil DJ7AA]

Dear Top Band DXers,

we just finished our most successfull night. Band opened at 0635z
with G3RPB. We were already present since 0600z but no sign of any PA or 
ON station. Worked a few G's but no CT,EA nor EA8 were heard until 0730z.
Tried again from 0830z for South America but nil.

While working some East Coast stations that time we decided to stay the 
full night on 160m. VE3s and W8s very loud long before their sunrize.
There is already a peak to Stateside at our Sunset.

Big signals too from W1..W3 around 1100..1130z. US closed at 1200z.
Only a few weak W0's came through from time to time. Japan with good
signals at 1200z but disappeared later. Will check 12z the next
nights for Asia again. Only a few West Coast stations 1400...1445z.

Also fine condx into North and South East Europe from 1615..1635z.
Were hopefully that band would open into Western Europe later but
not a single contact. Detect every morning the same European stations
calling us on 1830 kHz without RX. We have changed the split frequency 
to allow stations a contact who really can copy us.

Guys, keep cool and listen carefully before you call us!!!

Tks for all the messages concerning our operation times. We were on
Top the full night! If you didn't hrd us, you had no propagation...

We continue our operation on 1828.8 for US and 1823.5 for Europe.
